Best Designs for Accountancy Website

It's All About Being the Best

Traditionally, accounting firms have relied heavily on word of mouth to generate new business. Whilst that is still often the case, there is no doubt that accountancy websites are becoming more crucial in the fight to get new custom.

It is therefore important to ensure that your accounting website design is the best it can be to ensure customers don’t enter and then quickly exit your site without enquiring.

What Is the Best Design for an Accountancy Website?

First impressions are very important when it comes to accounting website design. The internet is a fickle marketplace and customers will leave very quickly if they don’t like the site. Therefore, making the website look clean, modern and professional is important if you want customers to stay on the site.

Further to this, with an increasing number of users turning to other devices to view websites, it’s important to design websites with these users in mind also. Therefore, you must ensure that the website looks just as good on these devices as it does on the computer. Without doing this, you could potentially lose customers to competitors who have focused on all forms of user experience.

However, whilst the visual design is a key consideration, it isn’t the only one. Functionality and the overall customer experience is just as important. For example, having simple menus and an easy to navigate format makes the customer experience far better. It means that they can find the information they want with ease rather than having to search for it.

Within this, content is king. Getting people to stay on your site due to the appealing visual design and enabling them to navigate it with ease is half the battle. Giving people the content they need is the other half. Having a good about us page is an example of this. You can use this page to tell your story and to show off your well-qualified team. As one of the most viewed pages on a website, you can really engage with customers here and tell them why you are better than your competitors. Furthermore, giving customers an easy way to contact you either via contact us forms or “one tap phone numbers” is crucial as it enables them to respond to your call to actions with ease.

Whilst both the visual design and original content of a good accounting website can be managed by an agency, it is important to note that a good accountancy website design is also one which enables you to be able to update the site yourself. It is no good having a nice looking, easily navigatable website, with good content on if you are unable to easily update it due to the complex codes in the background. Using the right platform is important here. WordPress is a great platform as it focuses on the user experience and is extremely simple to use and update
